CLUSTER BAR-MENU-PRICES · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-12-05
Desktop portfolio ticker apps
This cluster comprises lightweight menu bar and taskbar apps that display stock, fund, and gold prices while letting users track portfolio value and returns. The dated entry history before the index's start is too thin to discern a trend, as only a single dated entry exists. Among the traction leaders, 'millionaire' stands out with 4 activity stars, while other members show no comparable traction signal.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 13 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
